Not much happening with my life lately. Same boredom which is welcomed in my world. Went a little crazy at the used bookstore this week but I should have enough material for about two months or more. I have had two friends now point to me to the TV series Duck Dynasty as something I may like. It has also been pointed out to me what I see as a new phenomenon, that is mountain biking becoming mainstream. Seems more and more high schools are taking in the sport of mountain biking as part of their programs. I know up here there has been one for years but it looks like it is spreading and I feel it is very awesome. Awesome in the sense that so many kids that would be stuck in their cities and never see past the stop sign in a sense are getting to go out and see nature and our world. The world is not parking lots and stores but life that is nature. I do miss my mountain bikes and would love to find such a program where I can lend my extensive knowledge and experience
(video below). Also thanks to the
No Agenda Show and listeners for the awesome artwork displayed here.
"Why fit when you were born to stand out?"

Again fighting with Burrtec which is the local forced trash pick up service. For years we just dropped off our trash at the dumpster up here. Then a politician decided to give the service to a commercial company which of course billed us and provided pick up which was erratic during the winter. Of course fees went up yearly and continue to do so. Now they stopped picking up from me and when I called I was first trying to get a sales pitch and found out I am paying for a service that doesn't pick up. So why am I paying? But you all know the answer. We pay, pay, pay and get screwed. We have placed a system of political corruption on us over the many years. Paychecks get smaller but fees go up and more services are forced upon us.
Another thing I would like to point out. I work for the U.S. Navy part of my time as many know but like many of us we don't agree on what the government is doing. Invading and secretly overthrowing so many governments for our agenda (you have Navy General Ham fired for trying to send aid during the Benghazi killings as he was told to stand down. You can read between the lines here). This causes the death of so many but we are more concerned about locking up a few weapons and forcing law abiding citizens to submit. Point aside I was to comment on the latest topic which is North Korea. Dennis Rodman goes up there and he gets laughs but he brought a message back, which is that our President call them. We refuse to call them until they stop producing or having nuclear weapons. We are very ignorant to think we can have them but force everyone else not to. Which country would feel safe knowing they cant "protect:" themselves but the U.S. (Soon to be socialist states of America) can have them? Then we have Don Gregg, ex ambassador to South Korea visit North Korea and bring the same message back. They want to talk and stop all this nonsense but we refuse to. Instead we are spending more money putting up these lame missiles and systems pointing towards them. Hey, morons! Do you not remember the "Bay Of Pigs" affair? But while this is going on we are invading all kinds of countries all over the African continent. But many just ask yourselves; Did Kim Kardashian just loose weight?
Since I'm on my rant here (I figure I will piss off a few of you), I want to ask why do people on "food stamps" and government aid file taxes and actually receive a good chuck of money in return? As if being paid to take free money. Plus why do they hold up my line to pay for a 68 cent piece of candy with the welfare card which many times they need help using because many don't know how to swipe and put in the PIN. Then pull out a hundred dollar bill for the rest of the few items not covered by my money, sorry government aid money. Outrageous. This is exactly where our debt is coming from. I love coupon shoppers because they are using their money and trying to save it and not sucking on the government $&%. That was my short rant.
Finished reading
Starbound in about a day and found the story to move along but for about a hundred pages it got stuck telling of their lives inside the ship. I will definitely be reading
Earthbound to see how it all ends for us humans. Was hoping to hit the local used book stores on Sunday for some other books but they were all closed. So I find myself looking at my book shelf and chose
The Wolves of the Calla (Darktower V). Looks like I will finish the series this year.
Again the results for a race were spoiled by the internet. It is impossible nowadays to be in the dark on events. However I managed to find decent footage of the Milan San Remo race online and enjoyed it. A brutal race much like Tirreno Adriatico a few days earlier. Horrible weather and the traditional 300kms of the event. I find myself lately wanting to following cycling a bit more and hope it continues as we are approaching many of the classics in the coming weeks.
